New Revision: 217704
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/217704

Log:
  getgroups(2): Remove mention of <sys/param.h> and refer to sysconf(3).
  
  Because {NGROUPS_MAX} may become variable, its value should be obtained
  using sysconf(3). If a #define is used anyway, it should be obtained by
  including <limits.h> as that is in POSIX like getgroups(2) itself is.
  <sys/param.h> is not in POSIX.
  
  MFC after:	1 week
